You are an ignorant SOB. They aren't striking ISIS, they are striking the other rebels and are just there to prop up another war criminal committing crimes against humanity, Assad, and it will mean there will be even more refugees and a very dangerous situation between USA and Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country had begun a campaign of airstrikes in Syria targeting ISIS militants, but opposition sources and footage from the ground appeared to show that it was targeting Western-backed rebels instead. The campaign marks the Kremlin’s first major intervention in a distant foreign conflict since it invaded Afghanistan during the Soviet Union’s dying days, and comes two days after Putin met President Barack Obama in New York.Putin said the campaign, launched hours after Putin got unanimous approval by the upper house of the Russian Duma for limited airstrikes, would last for the duration of a Syrian ground offensive, state media reported, and not include Russian ground forces. The regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said it had approved the intervention as part of a joint effort to combat terrorism. The first wave of airstrikes hit the provinces of Homs, Latakia, and Hama on Wednesday afternoon, AFP reported, citing a Syrian security source. Syrian Civil Defense, a network of emergency workers who rescue Syrians from attacks, counted at least 33 civilians killed in Russian air strikes in Talbiseh and Zaafaraneh, two districts near Homs, including three children and a member of their group, dubbed the White Helmets.Syrian activists and analysts said the Russian-led effort targeted solely districts controlled by other rebel groups fighting against the Assad regime. Videos posted online showed chaotic scenes of carnage and destruction near the cities of Idlib, Hama, and Homs, including areas controlled by rebels from the U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army. One video that was posted on YouTube purported to show that Russians had targeted the headquarters of the Tajamu al-Izza, a moderate and increasingly effective FSA group vetted by the CIA to receive anti-tank missiles.Jamil Al-Saleh, the leader of Tajamu al-Izza, told BuzzFeed News there were no ISIS units near Hama, the group’s headquarters. “We believe that Russia came to end the FSA and keep terrorist groups to kill the revolution,” he said. “They don’t care if the U.S. or any other countries support us.”

dry your eyes love, russia is finally doing what the US should have done years ago - smash ISIS, not fucking arm them.

besides, this is going to stablise the region but propping the legitimate syrain regime up. think of all the lives that will be saved, compared to how many have already been lost

at this point the tragedy of lost lives is irrelevant, its now about numbers, and you can either stop the corpses when they reach hill size or let them build up to a moutain.

I know youre a spineless pacifist who thinks that having a nice chat with psychopaths is the only way to win them round, but you have to be realistic sassy.

yeah sure a few thousand more will die before now and the end, better than a few hundred thousnad though isnt it??

peace through superior firepower

If so how do you know they are Russian and Syrian if you're under attack??

Last time I was under attack I could barely decide wear it was coming from never mind being able to identify insignia badges of rank and the signature camo pattern of my attackers

You should be careful what you read on the internet sassy, the internet is full of lies
